Very detailed thank you. I will check the dine line as soon as we board. Thanks

Thank you this was the only cabin left.

We wanted to go on the road to Hana again we loved that tour several years ago even though hubby was having knee issues. Princess doesn't have any tours for Oct. at this time. Would you know if there is a tour company that runs this? Thanks

Hello, We booked the Hawaii RT LA again this year on the Grand. No minis left this late and I like to know my cabin up front so TA suggested the aft Vista Suite on deck 10. Only in a suite on Princess once on the Regal aft the balcony was amazing. Now for my questions anybody been in the aft Vista Suite before, any tips? Also first night shows specialty dinning? Is that booked prior to boarding and is it limited to one choice? We have a package so can I change the bar set up to just a couple diet soda cans and maybe a bottle of wine? Is the balcony big enough for our anniversary dinner should be warm enough. On Regal we were cramped in the living room eating off the coffee table due to weather. Thanks as always for any information, Laura

We have plus package on the Grand this Oct. and Island next May. I don't remember seeing this on the Sapphire in 2022, is this new? What is casual dining? Thought you either have complimentary or you pay. Reading here you need to get reservations only on board which is fine both trips are long so once I know what this is I can make plans. Do any of the ships still have the pub lunch would this be casual? Thanks as always for any guidance, Laura

Hello we are looking to book a cabin on a riverboat cruise Portland to Clarksville the first week in Oct. Have a few questions. Read tips are included but it is OK to tip and tipping of driver and guides is expected. Is this correct? No tables for two in dining rooms? Beer and wine included with meals is sad a included all the time like coffee? Mixed drinks or martinis are for a fee? Is the first day hotel included? Can't seem to determine airport closest when we arrive or when we depart. Anybody have information for these? Thanks as always for any and all information.

Wonderful thank you so much. Will be up early as always so just hit the IC.

Such a nice live review thanks for sharing. Quick question we just booked the Grand Vista Suite C750. I hope they are all similar. What do you think of your balcony? Also did you need to pre book your dinner reservation since your in a suite? Is there a concierge lounge for coffee in the early AM like on the Regal? Thanks so much, enjoy we love Alaska been 3 times can't wait to take our sons and grandson.

We only had that option in a suite? We generally sail in minis no perks just larger cabin, we like the sofa.

I used the web for everything in a booking thanks to advise on these boards. Am hoping they don't change things and try to push the app on use like Carnival. Thanks for your reply, getting excited to surprise the family. It will be their first time on Princess 😁 our first time on Majestic.

Hello, you were so helpful with our Oct. 2022 first time medallion cruise. We didn't use the app did everything through the web page on our booking. The medallion itself was great. We like going to get things ourselves and had no issues from boarding to leaving. Now I did have an issue with shore excursions but that was my fault. Now my question, I am booking 3 cabins for next July and wonder if you know if I can still do everything in the web or with the new app we will be required to go through that? We were forced to do the app on another line but found out once we were on it was only good for dining. They wouldn't take any calls you had to use the app. It was very hard to remove from his phone after and he gets bombarded with ads now. Six of us this time so want all information as this trip will be their Christmas gift. Thanks as always for your input.

We have cruised Alaska three times but not on Carnival yet. Have been looking at this ship to take pour grandson who will be 14 next month. Question how did you like the balcony cabin? We want an unobstructed balcony as we use this. Was it covered? Would a third person be comfortable a balcony cabin on this ship? We like smaller vessels but because it will be his first trip to Alaska and my last sadly we would venture on a larger ship. Thanks for your review appreciate your viewpoint.

I wasn't happy with the food either but I died gain 4 pounds, turned out to be fluid 😁. Don't plan to sail out of NY on Carnival again though. Sailed from this same pier on NCL and boarding was nothing like the mess we dealt with for this cruise.

We just sailed on this ship. The lines were long at certain times but it moved quickly. We didn't really think the variety was worth the wait but did like the deli. Omelet station is quick as well. Then you can have burritos for breakfast or lunch, guys burgers, or pizza all fair. We preferred MDR this trip though, Grand Canal had brunch almost daily and we had early seating after the first night just showed up on time and sat ourselves. Oh and yes the floors around the buffet outside area were very slippery at times wear deck shoes but still be careful.

Anybody from our roll call come home with covid?
